WSU Campus Comprehensive Master Plan

Winona State University is in the initial stage of updating its campus facilities master plan. RDG Planning & Design of Des Moines, Iowa is serving as the consultant for the 14-month process.
WSU will be simultaneously developing landscape and athletic facility plans.

Master plans are developed to support the short and long term goals of WSU and its mission. The master plan includes information about existing buildings, facilities and property and their current use. The plan also explores options for expansion, growth or changes for the future as they relate to the WSU mission.

Master plans of this nature are guidelines for an institution, and not a hard and fast rule. Hence, MnSCU institutions revisit and update master plans every five years to ensure the plans align with the ever-changing goals and expectations of the institution.
